20 Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her.
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, 'Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?' They said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'
22 He returned to Judah, and said, 'I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.''
23 Judah said, 'Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you haven't found her.'
24 It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, 'Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.' Judah said, 'Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.'
